After Spain successfully established its colonial rule over the Cameroon Region, other European countries were not willing to lag behind and accelerated their colonization efforts in Africa.
Unlike Spain, which focused solely on West Africa, the European Powers led by the UK, France, and Germany set their sights on the entire continent of Africa.
This led to Germany, after failing to colonize Cameroon, wasting no time in turning to other parts of Africa.
After all, there was still plenty of African land untouched by European Powers, and despite Germany's strength, there was no need to engage in a life-or-death struggle with Spain over the Cameroon Region.
It must be mentioned that Germany had its eyes on many places.
Apart from Cameroon, they were also interested in the Gold Coast and East Africa.
Of course, this Gold Coast was not Spain's Gold Coast Colony but the area commonly referred to by European countries as the Gold Coast.
